RadWindowManager is visible on my page

[ADe]

EDIT: Workaround: I just stuck it in a div and set the style to display:none. This can't be what we're extected to do???

I noticed a blank line at the bottom of my web page and using the IE Developer Toolbar I found out it's the RadWindowManager.

Why is it visible as surely it shouldn't be...???

Here is my code,

        <telerik:RadWindowManager ID="radWindowManager" runat="server" Skin="Web20" style="z-index: 90000;">
            <Windows>
                <telerik:RadWindow ID="radWindowAbout" runat="server" Animation="FlyIn" Overlay="True" KeepInScreenBounds="True" Behavior="Default" InitialBehavior="None" Left=""
                    NavigateUrl="Dialogs/About.aspx" Style="display: none;" Top="">
                </telerik:RadWindow>
            </Windows>
        </telerik:RadWindowManager>

It ends up creating this HTML which is clearly showing as a blank line,

        <div id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_radWindowManagerPanel">
 <div id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_radWindowManager" style="z-index:90000;display:none;">
  <div id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_radWindowAbout" style="display:none;">

                <input id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_radWindowAbout_ClientState" name="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_radWindowAbout_ClientState" type="hidden" />
  </div><div id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_radWindowManager_alerttemplate" style="display:none;">
  <div class="windowpopup radalert">

I can't recall the RadWindowManager occupying space anytime I've used it before so I don't think that you are experiencing the default behavior.  Which version of IE are you experiencing this with?

I suppose there could be something in your stylesheet that is setting something globally that is getting picked up by the RadWindowManager's html.  But even if that was the case, I agree that the RadWindowManager should never be visible anyway.

Personally, I don't like just how much html is rendered to the page by the RadWindowManager as opposed to just having a RadWindow - but it's the only way I can control the z-index :(

Hi ADe,

In general RadWindowManager is not shown on the page. Can you please let me know have you by any chance updated it with Ajax in some way? If this is so and you are using RadAjaxManager, you need to set its UpdatePanelsRenderMode property.

I hadn't but I moved it to tyhe top of the page where at first it didn't show but when a menu was clicked which makes a window popup it suddenly created the blank line where the RadWindowManager would have been.

Thanks for responding.

Hi ADe,

I am still not able to reproduce the problem locally, but if you open a support ticket and send me a reproduction project, I will check it right away. This way we will be able to examine the issue locally and provide you with a solution so you will not need to hide the manager in a div.
